Use the programm called frontend, if you dont have it.

Press start -> run -> and type:

"c:program filesdink smallwooddinkedit.exe" -game nameofdir

With frontend you can play and edit other dmods than dink.

You're not supposed to copy and paste DinkEdit. You use the frontend, select the d-mod you want and click Edit to open DinkEdit with that d-mod.

I always copy and paste and it works fine. In the days that there wasn't any FrontEnd there would have been no other way. And if FrontEnd was available from the start, how about the people that only had the cd-rom and didn't know about the DN download section?
